Glass In Front
Reflections Unveiled: Embracing Change in Glass In Front by Platform 55Lyrics
Looking around me I see more than I want to
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of surroundings.
Feeling like less instead of what I once thought to
Feeling diminished compared to previous self-perceptions.
Be in this life they've given a lot to hold on to
Acknowledging the material possessions and experiences acquired in life.
But who I am now's not the same one that I knew
Reflecting on personal growth and change over time.
Look around they said, instead of looking down
Advisory to observe the world rather than focus on personal issues.
But every time I've done that, I don't like what I've found
Discontent with self-discovery when looking around.
This skin I wear is mine indeed
Asserting ownership of physical self (body and face).
My face is too, in certainty
Emphasizing certainty in personal identity.
But looking in the mirror at what I see
Expressing dissatisfaction with the reflection in the mirror.
It's not what I like, who I want to be
Desire for a different, preferred self-image.
When the day breaks, I find myself in another standoff
Encountering challenges when a new day begins.
The glass in front will smirk and scoff I'll move along
Confronting a mocking or challenging reflection in glass.
Thinking I'd be better off, and looking like a step above
Considering the possibility of being better off without the current self.
Wearing someone else's
Symbolic representation of adopting someone else's identity or persona.
Wearing someone else's
-After looking around I can't look back down
Aversion to looking back down after looking around.
My head's stuck on a swivel
Feeling mentally stuck and unable to solve a complex problem.
Can't think, man it's a riddle
-Am I looking for the world?
Searching for meaning or purpose symbolized by a simple symbol or impulse.
Nah, just some kind symbol
-Maybe some kind of impulse
-Yeah, something so simple
-Milling about a group of like minded personnel
Observing a group with shared interests, yet lacking direction and purpose.
United and pushing forward, but they couldn't tell
-Where they were going, why they were breathing, they weren't thinking
-They keep walking and walking to ascend, walk and descend my friend without seeing the end
Reflecting on a continuous journey without clear goals or understanding of the destination.
When the day breaks, I find myself in another standoff

The glass in front will smirk and scoff I'll move along
-Thinking I'd be better off, and looking like a step above

Reiteration of discontent with personal appearance and the desire for change.
But every time I've done that I don't like what I've found

-But looking in the mirror at what I see
-It's not what I like, who I want to be
-Looking around me I see more than I want to

-But looking in the mirror at what I see
-It's just what I like who I want to be
